In the next newsletter, I'll continue this theme. In the meantime, here's a little homework for you and I:

No matter what position you hold , you can have a strong influence on your organization. This isn't about YOU, it's about you being part of a community of work and contributing your assets.

Own your calendar. Hold time for the work you need to do. Hold time to be available to others. Hold time to wander the halls like my boss Ty does.

Everyone is dealing with something. If you run into a situation where someone is being short, angry or negative in some way, reframe your thoughts and don't interpret it being directed at you. Instead, practice quiet patience and ask lots of questions, really listening with empathy. You are not expected to save the day; it is as valuable to be there with the other important human.
